Birds of Ozark Riverways

Van Buren, Missouri

Ozark Riverways was established to protect the natural and cultural resources
of the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers. The great diversity of birds found within
the park is a result of the many kinds of habitat available.

This list (revised August, 1991) includes 196 species. However, many other
birds occur within the Ozarks that have yet to be recorded within the park.
We invite you to share with us any observations or comments (or field notes!)
that you may have. Sightings of rare or occasional species, or a species that
is not listed, should be reported.

A - Abundant: widespread and easily found in proper habitat in large
numbers.
C - Common: widespread and easily found in proper habitat.
U - Uncommon: widespread in small numbers or common only in restricted
habitat.
O - Occasional: found in small numbers locally or in restricted habitat.
R - Rare: reported at least once in last five years.
